Curcumin (or diferuloylmethane), a component of Curcuma longa L. rhizomes, displays various biological and pharmacological activities. However, it is poorly bioavailable unstable in physiological pH. In this review, we cover papers published between 2019 2023 on the synthesis activities more stable effective curcumin analogs known as monoketone curcuminoids (MKCs) or “monocarbonyl curcuminoids.” Recent advances Claisen–Schmidt condensation, standard procedure to synthesize MKCs, including...
Brazil has the greatest plant diversity in world. Many species exhibit a wide range of phytochemical compounds which can be exploited food, agronomic, pharmacological and medicinal industries. Therefore, chemical composition vitro bioactivities volatile oil from Psidium firmum fresh leaves (PfVO) were investigated for first time. GC-FID GC-MS analyses revealed 28 PfVO. The major ones α-selinene (20.8%), β-caryophyllene (16.5%) nerolidol (10.4%). Results showed that PfVO affected growth...
Curcumin [1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadien-3,5-dione], a component of Curcuma longa L. rhizomes, displays various biological and pharmacological activities. However, it is poorly bioavailable unstable in physiological pH, which has led more stable effective curcumin analogs (e.g., monoketone curcuminoids, or MKCs) to be synthesized, their activities described. In this review, we cover papers published between 2019 2023 on the antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant,...
